Abstract

Sotrovimab neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 remained effective at the advent of B.1 lineage of the Omicron variant in outpatients. Primarily for hospitalized patients, however, the Japanese government regulated to administer this antibody agent. As this regulation enabled close monitoring in inpatients to investigate post-infusion adverse events (AEs) and efficacy, we attempted a retrospective study while the Omicron BA.1 lineage was dominant regionally.
